Louisiana has passed a bill that bans children under the age of 18 from signing up for their own social media accounts without parental consent. The legislation is known as HB61 and now has been sent to the State's Governor John Bel Edwards to sign. If he does, the legislation will take effect in August 2024. Online platforms - including video games, video-sharing apps, and social media networks - would use a third-party service to get a parent's consent before the child could use it.
